Modesto and Oakdale getting new Chipotle restaurants. Here's when they'll open

At the beginning of the year, some Modesto residents speculated that a Chipotle Mexican Grill was being built in The Marketplace shopping center on Oakdale Road. They were correct. In February, the company would only confirm that it was scheduled to open a new location in Modesto in 2027. Now, representatives for Chipotle are saying that location, at 3401 Oakdale Road, Suite 300, will open Nov. 18. It’s not the only Chipotle opening soon in Stanislaus County. One at 1595 E. F St. in Oakdale will open before the end of the year, according to a news release. Both restaurants feature a drive-thru lane and will be open 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Chipotle is hiring for around 30 jobs per location, according to the release. Learn more at chipotle.com/careers .

Stockton council members spar over grand jury reforms

Though Stockton City Council has agreed to implement the recommendations made by a civil grand jury, agreeing on how to implement those recommendations could be a turbulent journey for the council. Stockton City Council found little common ground in a Nov. 9 study session designed to help the body address the findings of a report by the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury, which criticized the council's inability to function as a "cohesive legislative body." At the study session, councilmembers discussed each of the eight recommendations made by the grand jury at length. Councilmembers disagreed on what should be considered a "personal attack," how stringently council should follow staff recommendations, and the usefulness of additional trainings, among other items. No official action was taken by the council at the study session. Rather the meeting served as a way for the council to discuss their thoughts on each recommendation prior to the rapidly approaching Dec. 31 deadline for the implementation of many of the recommendations. The study session was moderated by Henry Gardner, the executive director of Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Authority and the former city manager of Oakland from 1981 to 1993. The eight recommendations made by the grand jury were:

Modesto reaches tentative settlement in lawsuit over controversial protest mask ban

Modesto has reached a tentative settlement in a lawsuit challenging its controversial ordinance banning face coverings and certain protective equipment at public demonstrations, potentially ending a months-long legal battle over protesters’ First Amendment rights. City officials announced Tuesday that a settlement in principle had been reached in the lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California on behalf of the Pacific Media Workers Guild and three individuals against the city and Modesto Police Chief Brandon Gillespie. As part of the proposed agreement, the Modesto City Council will consider removing the ordinance’s prohibition on face coverings, creating an exemption allowing journalists to wear protective equipment while covering public assemblies and modifying existing restrictions on helmets. The proposed amendments will be considered at a special City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, at 5 p.m. “The parties are working to finalize the settlement agreement,” the city said in a statement posted to its social media accounts Tuesday. All other requirements of the city’s public assembly ordinance would remain in place, according to the statement.
